Comment:

When you’ve got a decade as rich in great R&B as the ’80s, it never hurts to have some help sorting the worthy from the wannabes. Welcome to Deep Cuts, where we dig deep into the vaults to bring you everything from the new-jack romance of Al B. Sure! and his 24/7 pledge “Nite and Day,” to Jody Watley and the diva beats of “Looking for a New Love,” to Color Me Badd’s bold statement of intent “I Wanna Sex You Up.” Terence Trent D’Arby stakes a claim to ’80s fame on his hit debut, “Wishing Well,” and Rick James back-up group Mary Jane Girls step into the limelight and something a little more comfortable on “In My House.”
